Ancestor's Life Events

New Haven, Connecticut - 1649   "Edward Grannis... first appears in colonial records in New Haven when, on October 2, 1649, the New Haven General Court fined him "18 d. for want of Worme, Scourer and Flints." At the time, all residents were required to bear arms and provide themselves with "a good serviceable gun and four of five good flints fitted for every firelock piece, all in good order and ready for any sudden occasion, service or view." Edward Grannis, at about 20 years old, was old enough to be armed." Source: One Life at a Time: A New World Family Narrative, 1630-1960 By R. Thomas Collins, Joseph S. Wood Contributor Joseph S.

New Haven, Connecticut - 1652   "Grannis' name appears again in March 1, 1652, when, as an employee of miller John Wakefield, he was witness in a case against Thomas Langden, who was accused of beating and threatening to kill his wife, and of killing and eating three hogs owned by Rev. Peter Prudden." Source: One Life at a Time: A New World Family Narrative, 1630-1960 By R. Thomas Collins, Joseph S. Wood Contributor Joseph S.

Hartford, Connecticut - 1666   "Family tradition holds that Edward Grannis was of Norman origin and that he had been baptized in the Established Church in England. Evidence of this is in Hartford when on November 22, 1666, Edward Grannis joined other, former members of the Anglican (Established) Church, and asked for permission to become members of the First Church of Hartford, a Puritan congregation. This Norman view coincides with another family tradition that holds the name Grannis was of Flemis origin and that many of that name reside in Belgium."
